The charm of Greece is unrivaled. Because it is a destination where every traveler finds their own dimension. Relaxation, fun, nature and well-being: Greece knows how to make every holiday wish come true.
Here are 5 addresses to dream and live between the Greek sky and sea.
1 Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino
Mandarin Oriental lands in Greece with a resort in Costa Navarino, in the south-western Peloponnese. The opening is scheduled for summer 2023. The resort stands on a hill that slopes towards the sea, nestled on the coast of the splendid Navarino Bay.
Guests can choose to stay in one of the 99 elegant and bright suites. Or in the villas with private pools and large terraces. Furthermore, more than 2.700 olive trees and over 500,000 native shrubs were planted in a large eco-architecture project. So an idyllic and unspoilt setting has been created.
The gastronomic offer will be declined in 5 restaurants and bars supervised by Chef Bertrand Valegeas. Between traditional Greek dishes and international flavors that wink at the cuisines of the world, the protagonists will be the ingredients of the region.
The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino is a sanctuary of well-being. It offers treatments inspired by the Group’s signature rituals and the abundant flora of Greece.
